You could also just: write the less general version and stop listening to folks who flip and scoff at every piece of code isn't maximally general. Crazy, I kno

Crazy, I know, but especially when were doing labor in industry, even without maximal generality your code is probably going to outlive its patron corporation and then die in obscurity.
- gowld 8y agoThe only person who flips and scoff at every piece of code isn't maximally general is... the author the code. That's the problem.
- KirinDave 8y agoThat's not true. There are folks in the community who absolutely DO put pressure on open source libraries to be maximally general (or to use THEIR abstractions over others). This fosters an environment that might already lead people to second guess themselves, because it's so big and new.
